    So NOT the problem. Shitty, unbalanced roster and Porzingis tears his ACL and they fire the coach. Will that franchise ever be relevant again?

    They've swept away the last remnants of the Old Republic (i.e. the Triangle Offense).

    I think they would've been in playoffs if Porzingis hadn't gotten hurt. They have some decent talent to surround him with.

    Carmelo can only opt in for one more year (at nearly $28 million). And if they lose in the first round Paul George is out of there quicker than shit through a goose. So, next year it will be the Russ and Melo show - two of the most inefficient volume scorers in the league.

    Plus, even after losing George for nothing, they will be over the cap and hard pressed to add any quality players to their bloated payroll.

    Exactly (btw, you're right. They only need to put up with Carmelo 1 more year.)

    Think again. They were 23-32 when he went down and in 11th place in the East. They would have had to go 20-7 over their last 27 games just to tie for the 8th seed.

    Russ will average a quadruple double if “Freezing Out Melo” becomes a stat.

    I have to say, last night and tonight just exemplified why a play-in tourney for 7 & 8 would be AWESOME. It was the first time in months I gave a shit about the wider NBA.

    This was a really great NBA season with a ton of intriguing storylines. Play-in games would've cheapened today as well.

    Nah it would have just been different; this season won’t happen every season, and a play in tourney would add a bit of drama.

    Gotta feel for Denver. Missing the playoffs by a single game again. Last year, they ended up with the same record as us, but we got the tie breaker. This year, they lose a close play-in game on the road in OT.

    They should be a playoff team next season, especially with the uncertainty of the Thunder/Spurs future.

    Cracks me up when shitty teams fire their coach. As if THAT was the problem.
